Right now, the eastwards truck stop is all torn down, so rarely used by either trucks or cars, if you can skip it, but if the renovations would be done I imagine it would be a good spot to hitchhike, as it is the first gas station to buy vignettes for the Czech highways. Got lucky and got taken all the way to Prague by a crazy Armenian guy.

Really good spot, a lot of people heading to Krkonoše who are more than welcome to take you there.

We were waiting for a ride to the south, to the České Budějovice. Most cars are going to Brno.

Great for Tábor. Got picked up almost instantly.

Not the greatest spot, because of low traffic here, since the spot itself is bus stop and drivers can see you looong before they stop

drivers can have to slow down there, because of intersection. Many cars are going to Prague, or another big cities

Not good place for us for hitchhiking to "Ostrava" and "Frýdek-Místek".

Good if you're going to Vienna and want to look for trucks, and it's not sunday - as on sundays trucks are prohibited from travelling through Austria. Not many cars here, so had to use the sign on the road. By miracle found a couple going to Italy, but the place seems difficult if trucks are not an option.

―JuanPabloSegundo, September 2026

Asked around and found a couple going to Brno. Most of the traffic here goes there so seems that it's a great spot to look for a ride there.

We (two girls) had just gotten out of our previous car and asked a lorry driver if he was going to the border. He said he was only going to the next village, so we agreed to go with him. But then he said, “To be honest, I’m actually going to the Czech Republic” (which is our final destination). So he dropped us off near the border, and we continued on foot. There was a long line of lorries at the border, and we didn’t see him again. By that point, it already felt like he wasn’t really keen on giving us a lift all the way, although he did help us a lot by getting us to the border.

The spot itself is not bad, but I guess I was very unlucky and I was stuck here overnight, there is a lot of traffic to Germany and the Czech Republic, there are free toilets, sockets, drinking water

There were two of us, standing with a sign saying "OSTRAVA." It was a great spot, even though it was Sunday. We were picked up by a couple from the Czech Republic who were going to Zator (POLAND).

Cool spot, lots of traffic. Lots of people heading to Zagreb, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Poland. I was traveling alone, male.

good place, easily accessible by public transport. A truck driver from Turkey picked me up after 30 minutes to the border, after the border a couple from the Czech Republic.

A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, laundry, hostel.

Super easy spot heading west! Cars slow down as they approach the town, and it seems like many are just passing through, heading either west or south. I managed to get a ride all the way to the Czech Republic (hey, Leon 👋). A lot of cars, though!

If you're trying to cross the border into the Czech republic then this is the place to be. Good traffic and it's possible for the drivers to stop just before entering the on ramp. Of you're patient then it should be possible to get a ride to Prague from here.

Impossible trip to the Czech Republic, 4 hours and nothing. it's better to choose a different place

We're extremely lucky, the first car took us until Nordhausen (we're heading to Harz) but generally very good spot for going to Germany. All Germans stops here because the gas is cheaper in the Czech Republic and it's the last gas station before Germany.

I was left here by driver who took me from Krakow (late Sunday) and just after I left the car and asked the first I noticed there (many stop for gas, to rest etc.) I had a lift to connect A1 (I needed to go the the Czech Republic border).

Over one year later, I was here again, and have to take back what I said before. The place where I hitchhiked last year is not a good spot. This time I hitchhiked right next Mercur and ofter 20 mins got a lift to the highway. Unless it is Friday and lots of Poles and Czechs are going home the chance someone will take you to the Czech Republic is low, so hitchhike without a sign, and get as far as you can ;)

Friday morning only few cars were going to the Czech Republic. Waiting 2 hours. (But good place for spent time - in fuel station is unlimited free wifi and electricity with tables)

not really sure if this was the spot, but most probably it was, anyway, here should be a bus statio which is a great spot towards the Czech Republic, cars stop at the lights and have enough space to pull over. I was there about 30 min and then a guy took me about 20-30 km further.
